DangerOus Bridge.

Overseer Boyd, of Road District No. 5,
called the attention of the Board of Super
visors yesterday to the unsafe condition of
the wire suspension bridge over the Ameri-
can river at Folsom, the timbers in the tow
ers of which are very badly decayed, and
the bridge is apparently supported almost
wholly by the outer casing, or shell, of the
towers. Mr.. Boyd gave evidence of the
condition of the timber by producing a
quantity of very badly decayed fragments,
removed by him for the purpose. This
bridge had repairs made to it two or three
years ago, but they were only temporary,
as at that time the expert who examined
the structure declared that it was useless to
do much, as new towers would have to be
built soon. The Supervisors decided to go
up next Monday with an expert, and ascer-
tain what is necessary to be done; and ill.,
structed Mr.. Boyd to put up notices that
the bridge was unsafe, so that those who
undertook to cross it would do so at their
own risk. While it might do service for a
long time yet it is fully as apt to tumble.

Police Court.

In the Police Court yesterday the fire.
quently-continued case of Fred. LEIGH,
charged with forgery, was taken up and
examined, G. L. johnson and w. A. An
derson appearing for the defense, and the
City Attorney prosecuting. This matter
grows out of Leichs presenting last Feb
ruarv, at d. o. Mills Bank check for $3.50
drawn upon the First National Bank of
Moravia, n. Y, which, having been in
dorsed by ]. NJ. Morrison, of this city, was
cashed. Subsequently, the check when
sent East was protested, and Morrison was
compelled 10 make the amount good
Meanwhile LEIGH had started for the East,
and officer Woods was sent after him.
bringing him back from Cheyenne on a
charge of forgery. He claimed that the
check had been sent out to him from the
East by a friend, and he presented it in
good faith. He has been in Jail since then
awaiting trial, but the case was continued
several times, principally because of his
being very sick. On the examination yes
terday the prosecution could not substan-
tate the charge of forgery, the witnesses
by which it could be shown if it was a
fact, being in the East, and their evidence
inaccessible. Consequently, on motion of
counsel for the defense, the case was dis
missed $50. The cases of Laura Sprout.
for battery upon LlZZle belmont and
the latter for disturbing the formers
peace, were dismissed on payment of costs,
il being an affair between themselves in a
back yard and neither wishing to prose-
cute. The hearing of the case of Fran
cisco Azevedo, for battery upon another
tomale man, was continued until to-mor-
row. as was also the case of George H.
Smith, charged with the petit larceny of a
dog....Jack Courtney, arrested for disturb
ing the peace, was acquitted......T The charge
of disturbing the peace against Con. Shee-
han was reduced to one of having been
drunk, upon which he pleaded guilty and
was dismissed with a reprimand.. Peter
Quinn, drunk, and S. Boyer, sleeping on
the sidewalk, forfeited their deposits.....A.
E. Servatius owned that he had been drunk,
but, being visitor to the city from the
foothills who had only been enjoying lit
tie boom,' he was let go without further
punishment...,.Le Roy Fisher pleaded
guilty of disturbing the peace, and was
fined $5......A. Fontena, previously con-
victed of disturbing the peace, was fined
$50, with the usual alternative, but was al
lowed to go on his promise to leave the
town forthwith.

CABLE STREET RAILROADS IN SACRAMENTO
The San Francisco Post of last evening
says: &c. w. Carey, who owns all the
street railways in Sacramento, is at the
Grand. Mr.. Carey does not believe that
cable roads will very soon supersede the
bob.ail horsecar in the Capital City, al
though when the time shall come that
the scenes of the South shall be re-enacted
in the North, and Sacramento shall be
new Los Angeles, Carey declares that he
will not permit anybody else to build the
first Sacramento cable road"

Poor Hans hesitated, as well he might.
Nature had not endowed him with any great
amount Of natural courage, and the sight Of
his old neighbours rife barrel made him feel
positively sick. He hesitated and began TO
stamrner excuses.
"Are you going, uncle, or must denounce
you to the general as sympathizer with
EnglishmenF asked Muller, In malice, for he
knew the old fellows weaknesses and cow
ardice and was playing on them;
II am going. or course 1 am going,
nephew. Excuse me; a little faintness took
me-the heat of the sun" he babbled. ''Oh.
yes, am going to seize the rebel. Perhaps
one Of those young men would not mind en-
gaging his attention ON the other side. He In
an angry mani know him Of old-and an
angry man with gun, you know, dear
nephew"-
"Are you goingYn said his terrible master
once more
"Oh, yesl certainly yes. Dear Uncle Silas,
pray put down that gun, it Is SO dangerous.
Don't stand there looking like wild OK, but
come up to the yoke. You are old, Uncle
Silas, and don't want to have to hurt yeu.
Come now, come, come" and he held out his
hand toward him as though he were shy
horse that he was endeavoring to beguile.

nearer, by Godl will put . bullet through
you!"
"Go on, Hans; chuck REIN over bis head;
get him by the tall knock him down with q
yokeskei turn the old bull on his back!"
shouted the crowd of scoffers from the win
dow, taking very good care, however. to clear
off to the right and left in order to leave room
for the expected bullet.
Hans positively burst into tears, and Null
ler, who was the only one who held his
ground, caught him by the arm, and, put
ting out all his strength, swung him toward
Silas Croft
For reasons Of his own he was anxious that
the latter should shoot one Of them. and he
chose Hans Coetzee, whom he disliked and
despised, for the sacrifice.
Up went the rifle, and at that moment Bes-
sic, who had been standing bewildered, made
a dash at it, knowing that bloodshed could
only make matters worse As she did SO it
exploded, but not before she had shaken her
uncle's arm, for instead of killing Hans, rs it
undoubtedly would otherwise have done, the
bullet only cut his ear and then passed out
through the open window place In an in
slant the room was filled with smoke Hans
Coetzee clapped his hand to his head; and
commenced to yell with pain and terror, and
in the confusion that ensued three or four
men. headed by the Kaffir Hendrix, rushed
into the room and sprang upon Silas Croft,
who had retreated to the wall and was stand
ing with his back against it, his rifle, which
he had dubbed in both his hands, raised
above his head.
When his assalants got close TO him they
hesitated, for, aged and bent as he was, the
| old man looked like mischief He stood there
like lion and swung the rife stock about
